About this home

Featured in a 1949 issue of Good Housekeeping for its easy-living floor plan and good looks, this time-tested Princeton home is even better today than it was back then! Aside from kitchen and bath updates and a brand new roof, the living room fireplace is now gas for mess-free ambiance and the 2-car garage is now attached via a comfy family room with pretty bay window and sliders to the surprisingly big backyard. Real wood floors are in excellent condition throughout, just one sign that this place has been lovingly cared for. The openness of the dining room allows for extra guests at the table, but breakfasts will likely be enjoyed in the bay of the bright, white kitchen, which offers gas cooking and granite countertops. A nearby den/office is your work-from-home refuge and/or quarters for the occasional guest. All 3 bedrooms are nicely sized and equipped with efficient ceiling fans. The main suite has a private, up-to-date bath fitted with plantation shutters and a roomy closet with access to the walk-up attic. While this space has potential, there is already a finished basement for play/hobbies. Kick back on the deck and enjoy complete privacy in a central location.
